BEFORE START  REVERA is a IaaS leader provider in NZ with many different options and solutions available to fulfil any type of requirement.  The results on this presentation makes only reference regarding Oracle Database performance when running on a virtual environment.

WHAT IS OVM Oracle VM is an enterprise-proven server virtualization solution comprised of Oracle VM Server for x86, Oracle VM Server for SPARC and Oracle VM Manager that is scalable, and a low-cost server virtualization solution for both Oracle and non-Oracle workloads that makes enterprise applications easier to deploy, manage, and support.

WHAT IS OVM (Cont) Because OVM is build by Oracle all Oracle products deployed in Oracle VM such as the Oracle Database, Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle Applications, and Oracle Real Application Clusters and many others are fully supported and certified. OVM helps customers improve server utilization, achieve higher availability and achieve better performance while reducing costs.

MORE VALUE  Key Benefits – – – – – – – – – – – – Application Aware Virtualization High Available and Scalable Easy and Efficient Centralized Management Fast Deployment and Standardization Application Driven Virtualization Soft and Hard Partitioning Support for Leading Enterprise Operation Systems Dynamic Resource Scheduling Integration with OEM12c Build by Oracle to Oracle and non-Oracle environments Only x86 server virtualization solution fully certified by Oracle and can be used with all Oracle Software Single Vendor Support, One call to Oracle; no finger pointing at another vendor

BENCHMARK Environment Preparation

SOME NOTES ON THE TESTING  Performed in a lab environment, not on our actual Prod environment  The trends are representative, but the numbers reflect the lab gear available at the time  When we build VM service offerings they are tuned for general purpose IaaS workloads & use cases most common across customers  We can tune for specific use cases, as this presentations will show

WHEN SCALING As you can see, without OVM you will have a full physical server with underutilized resources, but if using OVM, you will be able to virtualize it to host many Oracle DBs without loss of performance and making an efficient use of available licenses.

OTHER INFO • MANAGEMENT OF SGA MEMORY • SGA of 4864 MB • BM able to open 563 connections • Other Hypervisors able to open 523 connections • OVM able to open 567 connections

BENCHMARK Conclusion

MYTHS or TRUE • • • • • It is not safe to run Production Environments on OVM If using OVM your database will run slower Oracle do not support production DB on OVM OVM is more expensive than other Hypervisors Other Hypervisors run Oracle Database faster than OVM

CONCLUSION • • • • • Oracle Database performs better at OVM OVM makes a better use of available resources OVM is more scalable and stable for Oracle DBs OVM allows better consolidation of loads in a virtual environment PLUS OVM uses less CPU than other Hypervisors a bonus: Allow licensing savings, extra HA and is fully certified and supported by Oracle.

SELECTION OF UTILITY COMPUTE OPTIONS     Targeted at different use cases All Utility Pricing scale up-scale down Different Service Offerings focused at different use cases Customers consume based on SLAs and capabilities, not brand of hypervisor
